Dunlop's Max Grip guitar picks have a nonslip texture that is molded into the entire gripping surface for incredible control. Dunlop's technology lets players increase their speed and articulation without fear. The beveled edge of the guitar picks allow for quick string release.

I started trying out & using nylon picks w/ grippers around 1989 - I was helping out another guitar player / friend & his band, & he used Dunlop 1.0 mm nylon picks (which I would "lift", then take home to try out on acoustics, as well as electrics). I liked them right away, except that the 1.0 mm was a little too thick. I remembered an interview that featured Jimmy Page saying he had used .88 mm Herco picks. That's how my long standing affair w/ Dunlop .88 mm nylons began. Later on in the 90's, I discovered Le Pik's arsenal of nylons - the design is offset, but there in lies what made them different, as well as ergonomical (I think that was their intent). I used those for 10 years or so, & then I had to make another switch when I found out Le Pik was going under. Around then was when I found Snarling Dog's Brain Picks - a dozen picks comes in a tin "stash box", one of which I keep on me at all times. They're alright nylon picks, but they wear & eventually, wear out. Today, I'm back using Dunlop .88 mm picks, only now I'm strumming away using their MAX Grip picks, which are the bomb. They hardly wear, the nylon feels a little denser & the grip area is innovative in the world of nylon guitar picks. The search is over...until (!)

OK picks, but better options out there

I've spent the past year trying a number of different pick styles. My fingers tend to get a little damp when playing, so i chose these picks in hope of better grip. They are ok, but not great.. they don't wear out quickly like many cheaper picks, and the grip is moderately good, but not great. I strongly recommend the Dunlop Tortex picks ... they have the best grip I've found yet, don't wear out, and feel and work so well! And they are cheap. All 4 guitar players in my family strongly prefer them. Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra pennies for the tortex picks.

Recently switched from the tortex .88mm to .88mm max grips. I like the feeling of these a bit better. Both are great picks, it's all personal preference. Best bet is purchase the sample pick packs from dunlop.

These are the only picks I've used that don't slip in your hand when your hand gets a little warm and sweaty. I just wish they were brightly colored. If you drop one on a dark colored floor, you have to look hard to fine it.

I'm not a big fan of nylon picks, but these get the job done, once I get used to the feel of them. May go up to the next higher gauge, though, as the .73's seem a little thin to me. All in all, a good pick and easy to hold on to even when cold or sweaty.

I bought nylon picks in the thickness of 1.0, .88, and .73, to try out. Turns out I like the thinner ones for what I'm doing now, which is acoustic strumming/practice. But, the grip is the same on all of them, very good, they don't slip, which is what I wanted.

Max Grip just like it says!! I used to use cool sandpaper picks, these are much better stronger picks and better grip, they still dont last long enuff but that is with all picks........ I cant stand a pick with no Grip I Love EM! NO harder then ones I dont break strings....
